Nowadays, though, it’s quite common to become your own boss. Let’s say you have an idea. Maybe you want to open an English school or sell Japanese comics. First, you need a business plan. It sets out what you’ll sell and how much everything will cost. Most businesses that fail didn’t have this. If you need to borrow money at the start, banks will ask for a detailed plan.The best starting place for a business plan is the 4Ps: product, place, price and promotion. All these must be strong to be successful.□ProductYour product must have something unique. What makes it special compared to other similar products? If you want to start a noodle shop that has nothing new, don’t expect people to show much interest. You can research your product. For food, let people try it for free. For toys, let a few children play with them to see if they like them.□PlaceThere’s no point having a product that people want to buy if your shop is in an empty mall. Think about which type of person is going to buy what you sell. Where do they usually go shopping? When looking at possible places, spend the day there. See how many people pass by. Also, are there other shops nearby selling similar products? If so, how can you be better than them?□PriceWork out how much it costs to make or provide your product. As a general rule, your price will be double the cost. After all, you’re also paying for rent, staff and you need to eat too!□Promotion How can you attract people to your shop? Advertising in newspapers and on TV is expensive. Perhaps you can get free advertising by getting a newspaper to write about your business.26. What’s the best title for the passage?How to start a business.Starting a business soon.Starting your own business.Preparations for starting a business.27.

If you want to start a noodle shop, you should ________.expect people to show much interestresearch your noodleslet people try it at a low pricelet children have a try29. What does “If so” in Paragraph 4 refer to? There are shops selling the goods like yours.Many people pass by.You should think about which type of person is going to buy what you sell.You should spend the day on possible places.30. You are selling toys to children. It costs 5 yuan to make each one. How much should you charge the children for each toy?15 yuan.B. 5 yuan.C. 10 yuan.D. 50 yuan.BYou probably hear it all the time — people telling you to “learn English”. But does this mean children in English-speaking countries don’t need to bother learning a new language? Not at all. In fact, an even larger number of young people will soon be taught foreign languages, thanks to the mental advantages of bilingualism.Psychologists once thought that growing up bilingual might lead to verbal delays－a late or absent development of talking. But US magazine Scientific American has revealed that this is not true, and reported that children who speak more than one language “show greater mental flexibility, a superior grasp of abstract concepts and a better working memory.” As the New York Times put it, “being bilingual, it turns out, makes you smarter.”In Europe, learning foreign languages is increasingly popular.
